Nollywood up and coming actress, Crystal Okoye in an interview has warned any guy who intends to date her to be strong, good and capable in bed or they should not get anywhere near her.

The actress who once said she fully supports sex before marriage so that she can know if her man is capable, also said that she loves sex so much and would not even consider going out with a man who cannot perform to her satisfaction and that her man must be ready to 'give' to her anytime she wants it.

Okoye in her statement: "I am not one of those women who would tell you sex doesn’t matter; it matters a lot to me.

"If a man cannot perform, I have no business with him. You have to be a complete man to be with me.

"I love sex, and I am not going to pretend I don’t. I know most girls even fake orgasm just to please their partners but I am not that kind of girl."

A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, standing trial on charges of money laundering is to be arraigned on March 6.He is to be arraigned before Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia of the Federal High Court, Lagos.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Ofili-Ajumogobia on Feb. 10, upheld the submission of Mr Festus Keyamo, the Prosecuting Counsel.

Keyamo had filed an application, seeking court’s permission to re-arraign Fani-Kayode on a fresh 40-count charge of money laundering.

But the Defence Counsel, Mr Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), while opposing Keyamo’s application, said the court lacked competence to entertain the matter because the prosecution failed to disclose sources of the alleged laundered monies.

However, in her ruling, Ofili-Ajumogobia, upheld Kayemo’s submission, saying that the failure of disclosure of the sources was not fatal to the case.

Ruling that the court was competent to adjudicate on the fresh 40-count charge against the accused, Ofili-Ajumogobia ordered the re-arraignment of Fani-Kayode on March 5.

At the resumed hearing of the case, the court adjourned the matter to March 6 at the instance of the prosecution.

NAN recalls that Fani-Kayode was first arraigned sometime in December, 2008 before Justice Ramat Mohammed on a 47-count charge.

He had pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted bail in the sum of N200 Million with two sureties in like sum.

The former minister was again re-arraigned before Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako, after the transfer of Mohammed.

Ajumogobia is now the third judge to hear the case in the past five years, with the EFCC dropping seven counts from the original 47-count charge.

In the charge, the accused is alleged to have transacted funds exceeding N500,000 without undergoing due financial process.

The EFCC is also accusing Fani-kayode of receiving cash payments to the tune of about N100 million as Minister of Aviation and later Minister of Culture and Tourism.
